    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ну это лучший альбом в моей жизни, после ультры конечно. Дилер это что-то, а чери блоссом это маленькая колыбельная, под которую хочется заснуть (в хорошем смысле). Этот альбом что-то личное и родное, особенно чувствуется в песне свит Каролина. Ну альбом шедеврален! Expand

    Absolute masterpiece with 0 skips.
    The story telling through the lyrics and the symbolism is just mind blowing. The production, which many people have complained about after her last 2 albums, is so much better, though we still got piano ballads, it was a more mature clean production, very well structured.
    Perfection!

    Lana’s music has always been so powerful, emotional and captivating, but this takes it to an entirely different level. She’s so bare when it comes to her audience… and that’s what people love about her; she presents the subjects of her songs in such a beautiful romanticized way. My favourites have to be Nectar of the Gods, Lie Down Next to me, Dealer, Thunder, basically the whole albumLana’s music has always been so powerful, emotional and captivating, but this takes it to an entirely different level.

    I loved this new release, Lana gave us a new side of her with this album.
    The production is so beautiful and rare.
    Lana's lyrics are always on point.
    And about vocals, we all know that Lana loves to surprise us with new sounds and vocals, and she did that with this new release. I'm glad that I listened to this, it made this Autumn/winter period so much better for me

    Each and every song here is pure magic and connected through strings. Lana has put herself into a level where she doesn't care about anyone but pure art. Her level of artistry have reached a level dare I say legendary level. She is a living legend. One of her most defining albums. Absolutely love it.

    a chilling insight into the worlds seemingly most complicated artist, when in reality, she has been the simplest, and we ignorant.

    AMAZING! Her most experimental album to date, Blue Banisters is definitely Album of the Year. No skips, every song is absolutely heartbreaking and perfectly sums up the last two years of her life. A perfect follow up to her other amazing album she released only 7 months ago, Chemtrails Over The Country Club.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of her top 3 albums by far. If you don't at least like half of it then this album isn't made for you. Only long time fans can enjoy it in its entirety. It consists of, at first glance just 4 unreleased fan favorites, but through first listen you catch onto melodies that make it apparent she changed names of songs to surprise us. This album has its flaws, but its still full of a purpose that Lana has found during the pandemic. Look back I don't think I really enjoyed the one before it.

    Dealer pasó a una de las mejores canciones de la historia musical de Lana. Sin contar la hermosa experiencia de este álbum, es simplemente impecable.

    A set of drifting piano ballads that allow her rich and profane lyrics to hit home. [Jan 2022, p.22]

    While the days of Born to Die have long since passed, Lana Del Rey is still seeking paradise, closer now than ever as she turns her search inward, seemingly recognizing that paradise is ultimately found within the best of oneself. Still, if there is indeed a physical Arcadia to be revealed, it has not emerged in its entirety on Blue Banisters. That said, its intoxicating hints are enough to keep seekers thirsty.
